Water program

At CDP we are working to catalyse action on corporate water stewardship to safeguard water resources and address the global water crisis - one of the most significant challenges facing the global economy.

CDP’s water questionnaire provides investors with access to material data, consistently reported, on assessment and actions that lead to more responsible use of freshwater resources. Importantly, companies’ participation in CDP’s water program will help ensure the right to water for current and future generations
